Résumé : |
One of the most important components of a developing economy is the agricultural sector. It is possible to have an idea about the development level of the country by looking at the share of the agriculture in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country. In Turkey, from the beginning of 1920s to the end of 1960s approximately 45 % of GDP was obtained from agriculture, its share in GDP decreased to 26 % in 1980. In 2000, it decreased to 10.1 %.
Throughout the process, this downward trend continued. The contribution of the agricultural sector to the economy, which was 9 % as of 2010 and decreased to 5.8 % by 2018. There are many reasons for this decrease, according to the Federation of Food and Drink Industry Associations of Turkey; "Climate change stands out as the biggest threat to agriculture and food production, despite the increase in food demand depending on the world population". The change in temperature and precipitation caused by climate change affect the agriculture sector by affecting both the quantity of product and the quality of the product. In this way, climate change also influences economic growth in countries. The aim of this study is to attempt to understand how climate change, which is one of the biggest factors affecting agriculture, has an impact on agriculture and indirectly on economic growth of Turkey. The statistical data for this study was retrieved mainly through Turkish Statistics Institution (TUIK). Collected data and information was analyzed by combining qualitative and quantitative approach methods. Findings reveal that climate change affects economic growth and agriculture negatively. Therefore, the policies to be implemented for reducing the negative effects of climate change can contribute significantly to both economic growth and the agricultural sector. |
